Iceland might well be bankrupt, but it doesn't really matter for Jungle Fiction, a trio from Reykjavík, they have enough quality to see out any economic downturn - young, fresh and exciting. Jungle Fiction are purveyors of some lovely trashy electro. They've given us permission to giveaway their remix of Cassette Culture's 'We Once Had An Empire' its got all the hallmarks of Justice and SebastiAn's dramatic rock/electro. Enough said really. It's pretty frickin sweet. Cassette Culture - We Once Had An Empire (Jungle Fiction remix) by Jungle Fiction [...]
Thor - Icelandic Lost Tracks 1 With Yellow Sky Over Reykjavik, part 1s a-side features a previously unreleased piece of music by Thor, which, had it been released in the year it was made, would definitely be a classic nowadays, similar to Colds Strobelight Network, the first catalogue number on his Thule Records.

Seeing as how the name of this here blog is in Icelandic, I thought it only fair that I do have at least one post dedicated to music coming out of Iceland, that is other than Sigur Rós , Múm or Björk . So without further ado... I first got to hear of this band on my flight back from Iceland, and was immediately hooked by this song. Hands Remember by Seabear from [...]

Ein großes Thema bei der c/o pop ist ja dass im Rahmen der "Europareise" Festivals aus ganz Europa hierzulande weniger bekannte Musik vorstellen, so dass man mit dem Festivalticket auch mal völlig blind auf Entdeckungsreise gehen kann. Ein bisschen Vorauswahl hatte ich schon getroffen bei der Wahl des gestrigen Programms, das wurde nämlich vom Iceland Airwaves -Festival ausgewählt. Die Veranstaltung fand im schönen Rheintriadem statt, allerdings nicht im großen Saal in der Mitte, der war mit Tischen und hochbequemen Sitzsäcken zur gemütlichen Lounge umfunktioniert worden. Der isländische Teil des Programms fand im zweiten Konzertraum statt, im Obergeschoss gastierte das [...]

This month, Believer magazine serves up their annual music issue, with accompanying CD. And it's everything I want from a CD compiled by an omnivorous, ultra-sincere art and literary magazine: cool stuff I've never heard before, recorded by artists that I am mostly unfamiliar with. It even includes three exclusive tracks written especially for this compilation by Sufjan Stevens (surprisingly his track, "In the Words of the Governor" is quite rocking (and must be a new record for titular reticence on Suf's part)), Zach Condon (who also records as Beirut) and Lightening Bolt.
